Let containers cool on the counter for 24 hours and then place in either fridge or freezer. The strawberry freezer jam is good for about a month in the fridge or a year in the freezer.
We love this jam on biscuits or to make peanut butter sandwiches. It is so delicious, there is no comparing this jam to store bought. You can save money over buying store bought and have a fantastic made at home flavor, too.
2 lbs. of Strawberries
4 Cups Sugar
1 Package Pectin
1 Cup of Water
Start with about two pounds of fresh strawberries. Wash and discard strawberry stems. Place strawberries in a food processor or a blender. Blend until the desired consistency. Measure 2 cups of strawberry purée and place in a large bowl (you won’t be using the rest of the purée). Mix 1 package pectin, 4 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water into a large pot. Bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute and then remove from heat. Add the pectin mix to the strawberry purée. Stir for one minute and then pour into freezer safe containers leaving 1/2 inch space at the top of each container. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Refrigerate up to one month or freeze up to one year.
